Secure hair to above shoulder level. Wear long pants of durable material to protect your legs. Cover as much of your body as possible to help protect you from debris and pieces of toxic and allergenic plants being thrown by the tool.
WARNING: Never use fixed blades or metal saw blades with this trimmer. Serious injury may result. Never use wire or metal-reinforced line or other material in place of the polymer trimmer line. Pieces of wire or metal reinforced line can break off and can be thrown with great force striking against and injuring the operator or bystanders.
WARNING : The rotating trimmer line and trimmer head will throw objects and debris violently Min. 50 ft and the objects and debris will ricochet in all directions. You or bystanders can be blinded or injured. Keep children, bystanders, pets and other animals at least 50 feet (15 meters) away from the operating trimmer. Turn the trimmer OFF immediately if approached, or if you are approaching such bystanders. Bystanders should be encouraged to wear eye protection, even if they are kept at a distance. The debris shield on the trimmer is designed to reduce the danger. The debris shield provided with your trimmer may not protect the operator or bystanders from all objects or debris thrown by the rotating polymer line or trimmer head.
Thrown objects may also ricochet and strike the operator or bystander.
Utilize extra caution, when the trimmer is being used as an Edger or Sweeper, especially near, or on paved or hard surfaces, as pieces of metal, concrete, brick, stones, gravel, sand, glass, sticks and other objects can be thrown at high speed and force by the rotating line and such objects can be thrown, skip along or ricochet long distances off of hard surfaces. Do not use this trimmer for sweeping debris that may contain hard objects, e.g. pebbles, stones, sticks, glass, metal, etc. as such hard objects can be thrown with great force and cause injury to the operator or bystanders, and / or damage property, e.g., screens, windows, building siding, glass doors, or vehicles.
NOTICE: Avoid operating the trimmer near property that can be easily damaged by thrown or ricocheting objects such as screens, windows, building siding, glass doors and vehicles.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of ricochet / rebound injury, or property damage work by going away from any nearby solid object such as wall, steps, large stones, tree, etc. Use great care when working close to solid objects. Where hazardous conditions warrant, do not use the power tool, rather do trimming, edging, mowing or sweeping by hand.
WARNING: Inspect the area to be trimmed for hazards before each use. Remove any foreign objects such as sticks, rocks, broken glass, nails, wire, tools, toys, etc. which can be thrown by or become entangled in the trimmer line. Always locate, and then avoid cutting near electrical power lines, power conduit, or extension power cords. Avoid contacting hard objects with the trimmer head as the objects can damage the trimmer head  and / or the objects can be throwncausing serious injury.
Use this trimmer only for trimming, scalping, mowing of grass and weeds, and for light edging of lawns, and for sweeping of only light lawn debris on paved areas. Do not use this trimmer for brush cutting, pruning or hedge trimming. Never use this trimmer on
gravely or sandy areas.
WARNING: To reduce the potential of serious injury, cut only from your left toward your right, in the direction of the arrow on the deflector shield. Cutting on the right side of the deflector shield and moving directionally towards your right will cause the debris and objects to be thrown predominately away from the operator thereby reducing the risk of personal injury to the operator, although the risk of injury due to ricochet is not lessened. Whereas cutting on the left-side of the deflector shield or moving directionally towards your left will cause for comparatively more debris to be thrown towards the operator thereby increasing the risk of personal injury.
Hold the trimmer firmly with both hands to ensure proper control. Never operate the trimmer with one hand.
Keep the trimmer head below waist level and away from all parts of your body. Do not draw the trimmer head towards your feet or legs.
WARNING: Always remove the Power Cell when making adjustments, changing accessories, replacing the polymer trimmer line, removing or untangling debris, leaving the tool idle or unattended, cleaning, servicing, storing or transporting the tool.

WARNING
For safety reasons, the operator must read the sections of this Owner’s Manual entitled
“GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS”, “GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS”, “SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES”, and “SYMBOLS” before using this trimmer accessory.
Verify the following every time the trimmer accessory is used:

1. Safety glasses, and all required safety clothing are being worn.
2.  Appropriate length of trimmer line is exposed beyond the bump head eyelets.
3. The area to be trimmed is cleared of all debris.
4.  Bystanders are at least 50′ (15 m) away from the trimming area.

Failure to observe these safety rules will significantly increase the risk of injury.

OPERATING POSITION
WARNING: Never operate the trimmer with one hand. Always hold the trimmer with one hand on the forward handle and the other hand on the rear handle to operate the switches. Operate the trimmer below waist height at all times. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Never operate the trimmer on its edge while trimming grass. The trimming line should always be near and parallel to  the ground to avoid scalping andthrowing debris.

CUTTING METHODS
WARNING: Be extremely careful when cutting around hard objects such as rock, gravel, fence posts etc. that can be contacted by the line or the bump head (Fig. 6). Contacting these items with the line or bump head may cause pieces of the trimmer line and debris to be violently thrown. It may also cause the line to become entangled and damage both the line and the bump head.

When trimming, do not feed the line into the work area too quickly and crowd the line. Only the tip of the line does the cutting (Fig. 7). Feeding the line into the work area too quickly will reduce the head speed, slow the cutting action and overload the motor. It will also reduce the Power Cell capacity before requiring recharging.
NOTE: The trimming line will easily remove grass and weeds from around walls, fences, trees and flower beds, but it can also cut the tender bark of trees or shrubs, scar fences, etc. Be extremely careful when trimming near objects that can be easily damaged by
the trimmer line.

Trimming
Position the bottom of the bump head about 3″ (8 cm) above the ground and at a slight angle (Fig. 8). Allow only the tip of the line to make contact with the grass.
NOTE: Allowing more than just the tip of the line to do the trimming will result in rougher cutting action and excessive wear on the line.

Scalping
Scalping an area will remove all unwanted vegetation down to the ground. When scalping, position the  bottom of the bump head about 3″ (8cm) above the ground and at a slight angle (Fig. 9). Allow only the tip of the line to make contact with the ground.
NOTE: Scalping is ideal for use around trees, shrubs, posts, ornaments, etc. Be aware that scalping will increase trimmer line wear considerably.

Mowing
Use the trimmer to mow small or rough areas where a conventional lawn mower cannot be used. When mowing, keep the line parallel to the ground at the desired height (Fig. 10). Move the trimmer from left to right while cutting. This cutting motion will throw grass and debris predominantly away from the operator.
NOTE: Be careful not to allow the bump head to contact the ground, as this could result in scalping and/or releasing more trimmer line from the spool.

Sweeping
Use the trimmer for sweeping cut grass and debris from walkways and driveways. Position the line parallel to and above the surface to be swept (Fig. 11). Swing the trimmer from side to side in a fanning motion. The air flow from the rotating line will blow the grass and debris from the surface being swept.
NOTE: Be careful not to allow the bump head to contact the ground, as this could result in damage to the bump head and/or releasing more trimmer line from the spool.

Edging
Use the trimmer for edging around walkways and flower beds.
WARNING: Always use long pants, long sleeve shirt, gloves and safety goggles and a face shield when edging. Debris being thrown from the trimmer at high speed can injure your eyes and any exposed skin.
Hold the trimmer in a similar manner to trimming, but with the trimmer head rotated away from your body by 90° (Fig. 12).

ADVANCING THE POLYMER LINE
As the trimmer is used, the polymer line will wear down or the tips will break off. To advance the polymer line and expose a greater length, simply tap the bump head on the ground while the trimmer is turned ON.
